Description
Donation is a wonderful exceptionally long-flowering camellia that produces large, semi-double, soft pink, saucer-shaped flowers from February to May among glossy, bright evergreen leaves. Donation in full bloom is a wonderous sight giving so much pleasure with its profusion of blooms.
Growing in partial shade the flowers of this evergreen shrub last longer and are less likely to fade. Compact with a bushy upright shape, it’s perfect for growing in a large patio container or in the garden giving great cheer in late winter and spring. It is also excellent for creating a year round screen with its evergreen leaves and months of flowering.
Garden Care: Protect the emerging buds and flowers from cold, dry winds and early morning sun. Water established plants in dry weather to prevent bud drop. Apply a balanced liquid fertiliser in mid-spring and again in June. Top-dress annually with shredded bark or well-rotted leaf mould. After flowering lightly trim or prune any branches that spoil the appearance of the plant.
